MENIFEE: Teen bicyclist hurt in crash with car

A teenage boy riding a bicycle suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries when he ran a red light and was hit by a passing car Thursday on Antelope Road in Menifee, a Menifee police sergeant said.

The boy, 14, from Menifee, was hit at the intersection of Newport Road about 3:10 p.m., said Sgt. Sergio Rodriguez.

The teen ---- who had a helmet but was not wearing it ---- was able to get up and walk to the side of the road to wait for an ambulance to arrive, and was then taken to a local hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, Rodriguez said.

The driver, from Lake Elsinore, was not injured.

The sergeant said neither the bicyclist or the driver noticed the other until they crashed. Neither drugs nor alcohol appear to have played a role in the collision, he said.

Witnesses to the crash can call the Menifee police Officer Greg Berry at 951-210-1000.
